Despite him being a villain, I love the look of Norman Osborne's Iron Patriot armor. I Made my version from an IM2 4" Mk III armor. I smoothed out the chest with Squadron putty, and used a template to cut the star shaped unibeam from thin styrene. The shoulder plates were lifted from a Marvel Universe Iron Man. The red is Model Master clear red over MM flat insignia red. The blue is MM arctic blue metallic over regular Testors blue. The white is just Model Master white Primer. The little detail bits are Tamiya gunmetal. I used that instead of silver to try to make the armor look a little less advanced than the Iron Man armor proper. A few places were left flat red, for the same reason. I used some of the arctic blue on the eyes, to make them stand out a bit from the white face plate. I didn't have any reference pictures of the back of the armor, so I just made it up. (As I type this, I suddenly wonder if I shouldn't have alternated the plates over the spine in red and white.)
These pictures did not come out worth a damn. :( Comparison pic, I took after tweaking some setting on my camera and with my lighting. The only halfway decent picture I could get of the face, was in the silly comic I shot. |
